Yes it was Keith who originally flagged Ben's Bars - nice one Keith - I just reminded Maurice of the thread we had going at the time as he had lost sight of it. I'm still happy with mine too, the extra length makes it very comfortable in the hand. Pipe down, smutty little boy at the back.... :oops: :lol:

Well although I cocked up on the thread business, I'm gald Will is satisfied with 'his length' and all those others who have one of Ben's Bars. To be honest I have so many of the damn things that don't feel right, that I thought it was just my bad playing/bar control or lack of. The bar in question suits my bad left hand and wrist and after asking advice about forward and backward slants on another Forum, Basil gave me two sites to visit. Since then I have started to improve with the new bar. I have gone back to the ones I used to use, and found they didn't feel right and I couldn't manage the slants like I can with the new balanced bar.

That is a lot of S..T to say a big thank you for Keith giving Will the first info and Will posting the second one. :D

Thank you Will and a big thank you to Keith. :D :D 8-)

I highly recommend. I have the 7/8 x 3 & 1/4" It has reduced such a huge amount of noise unlike my Dunlop. Excellent work.

Looks like the gospaces site is now dead, https://benrburrow.wixsite.com/bensmetalpolishing/form still works though, and has an email address to use.
